They are taking the power of personal computing away from us...
I feel like there is a line coming with hardware and software and that will be the last of it's type as the move towards subscription based services is forced onto everyone. Its a shame people won't vote with their wallets. It just means I'll have my basement crammed with old tech and I'll go full old man mode and stop keeping up with technological progress.
Too bad you will need hard drives for that. And all the rest.
Thats my plan.
